I wholeheartedly recommend this album to everybody. There is not a single bad song and they are all so amazing in their own ways and the topics that the songs are about are so deep and ugh the music is so amazing especially Kevin Moores keyboards and every single thing about this album is amazing and I could talk about it for hours and hours

REVIEW: Dream Theater - "Hollow Years" (1997 CD single)
DREAM THEATER – “Hollow Years” (1997 Warner Music Germany) I always found something about 1997’s Falling Into Infinity to be underwhelming. Yes, we had the stunning Doug Pinnick cameo in “Lines in the Sand” and a wickedly heavy “Burning My Soul”, but the album didn’t have the same impact or longevity as Awake or Scenes From a Memory. It wasn’t for lack of effort. They recruited Desmond Child…

Dream Theater (monografia) Pt. 1
Nel 1989 fanno la loro comparsa sulla scena i Dream Theater, probabilmente la più grande band progressive metal mai esistita (nonché formazione più tecnicamente preparata di sempre). La musica di questo gruppo sfugge ad ogni tipo di categorizzazione per dare vita a un vero e proprio teatro dei sogni, il concetto su cui si basa il loro modo di comporre è l’annullamento della distanza tra ciò che si può immaginare e ciò che si può eseguire. Tuttavia in When Dream and Day Unite, il loro primo album, il progetto è ancora incerto: la voce di Charlie Dominici sembra suggerire delle vibrazioni epic/power metal, mentre gli strumenti percorrono una strada prog, lasciando l’intesa tra le due cose formarsi solo a metà. Quando invece nel 1992, esce Images and Words, James LaBrie riesce a guidare la formazione storica (con Kevin Moore alle tastiere), direttamente all’empireo della musica rock e metal di tutti i tempi. L’ambizione è smodata rispetto al primo lavoro, e ci troviamo di fronte a una sorta di illuminismo musicale. Il progressive metal non ha mai avuto un suono così pieno, le chitarre di John Petrucci hanno un suono preciso e mastodontico, mentre John Myung tesse le trame delle linee di basso. Mike Portnoy infiocchetta il tutto con la sua batteria iper cinetica, dando vita alla formazione più capace di sempre (almeno dal punto di vista tecnico). A dire il vero le canzoni dei Dream Theater hanno pure un significato, anche se un po’ melenso… i testi spesso di LaBrie, tendono a delineare la figura di un gruppo di intellettuali che vivono la musica quasi come dei santoni in cerca dell’illuminazione. Il nirvana consiste nel massimo virtuosismo tecnico e democrazia creativa interna alla band - infatti persino il loro metodo di composizione è interessante, ognuno dei membri ha diritto a dire la sua e se ha delle buone idee è parte integrante del processo creativo. Awake del 1994 compie un passo indietro rispetto a Images and Words (non era possible fare altrimenti), risultando un album godibile, ma pur sempre un sosia del predecessore. Nel 1997 Falling into Infinity è fuori fuoco, mentre un rinnovamento del loro vero potenziale avviene nel 1999, con Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes from a Memory. L’idea è ottima, il disco invece che contenere brani annovera delle “scene” - come se fossero tratte da un film, e una narrazione interna ai pezzi ci aiuta a seguire la storia con un taglio cinematografico.

Kevin James LaBrie (born May 5, 1963) is a #vocalist and #songwriter, who is best known as the #lead #singer of the #progressive #metal /#progressive #rock #band Dream Theater.
In 1990, LaBrie learned that American progressive metal band Dream Theater was looking for a new singer, so he submitted a tape and was quickly flown to New York for a full audition. The trial went well, and he was chosen ahead of 200 other hopefuls to fill the full-time vocalist position in that band.
LaBrie has since had a significant impact on the vocal melodies on each Dream Theater album, but until recently has had little input on the instrumentation of Dream Theater’s music - 2011's *A Dramatic Turn of Events* features LaBrie in the music credits on three songs. To date he has written or co-written lyrics for at least one song on eight of the eleven albums Dream Theater has released with him in the band, *Images and Words,* *Black Clouds & Silver Linings* and *Dream Theater* containing none of them.
Asked by Prog-Sphere.com what is his favorite Dream Theater song to play live, James says “The favorite song for me is Scarred, I love performing that live. And… well, Octavarium, that whole freakin’ thing.”

Great list even though "Take Away My Pain" didn't make it. "Octavarium" at number one is a great choice. "The Count of Tuscany" is another great song. "Black Clouds and Silver Linings" is a great album.
